The HTTP/1-liness of HTTP/2

CSS Wizardry

This article started life as a Twitter thread , but I felt it needed a more permanent spot. You should follow me on Twitter if you aren’t already. I’ve been asked a few times—mostly in workshops —why HTTP/2 (H/2) waterfalls often still look like HTTP/1.x (H/1). Why are hings are done in sequence rather than in parallel? Let’s unpack it! Fair warning, I am going to oversimplify some terms and concepts.

Fearing the Wrong Thing

O'Reilly

There’s a lot of angst about software developers “losing their jobs” to AI, being replaced by a more intelligent version of ChatGPT, GitHub’s Copilot, Google’s Codey, or something similar. Matt Welsh has been talking and writing about the end of programming as such. He’s asking whether large language models eliminate programming as we know it, and he’s excited that the answer is “yes”: eventually, if not in the immediate future.

What Is Envoy Gateway, and Why Is It Required for Kubernetes?

DZone

Envoy proxy, the data plane of Istio service mesh, is used for handling east-west traffic ( service-to-service communication within a data center). However, to make Istio manage a network of multicloud applications, Envoy was configured as a sidecar proxy for handling north-south traffic (traffic in and out of data centers). It was observed that application developers found it difficult to configure Envoy proxy as an API gateway and ingress controller.
